Kimberly Pelesz New York Law, LLC - Carmel Hamlet (NY)

5 /5 Pike: Was in a terrible situation with my drug addicted ex having legal custody of my son. Kimberly was able to back her into a corner and get her to voluntarily sign over physical custody to me when CPS and the courts were somehow on my exs side. This eventually lead to me and my new wife having full legal custody. Cant recommend her enough.

5 /5 Jim Adasek: I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with the services provided by Ms. Pelesz. What should have been a straightforward divorce case turned into a two-year ordeal. Throughout the entire process, she was always available to answer my questions and provided unwavering support. She was the ultimate professional, and without her dedication, diligence, and determination in continuously holding the opposing counsel accountable for missed deadlines and rescheduled court dates, I would still be waiting for my divorce to be finalized. Thank you, Ms. Pelesz.

5 /5 Mark Ripolone: As I went through the grueling divorce and Custody process with Kimberly and her team by my side, there were numerous times I considered myself extremely grateful for having her in my corner. Her skill, expertise, intelligence, and knowledge were all evenly balanced with amazing empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, and integrity. Even though divorce process brings out the worst in both parties, I could not have been happier with her . Kimberly was amazing at helping me maintain my balance. She is one of the most genuine, caring, honest, kind, humble, and dedicated individual you will ever meet. Kim won a place deep in my heart not just as my counsel, but as my friend, and I look forward to continuing to build a long-lasting friendship with her

1 /5 Charlene Henkel: I do not recommend Ms. Pelesz. She represented me from Nov 2021 to May 2022 and I am leaving this review now that my divorce is finalized via different representation. She was unorganized, unresponsive, and unprofessional. After firing her, my new legal team discovered that she did not file my divorce correctly (my ex husband was never served and she tried to file it in the wrong county). She dropped the ball several times thereafter causing us to miss a court appearance and failing to advise/file anything after my then husband physically attacked me while I had a restraining order against him. That cost me a lot of time and resources for zero progress while I was enduring threats and attacks from an abusive opposing party. She never cared about any of this nor did she look into documents/recordings/etc that I sent her. Her office always had an excuse for why they hadn’t done anything or hadn’t responded to my emails. While she seemed to have the experience and knowledge, she simply could not deliver because of the malfunctioning practice that she was trying to run herself. When I did confront her by asking direct questions about the way forward for my case, she became very hostile and said that if I didn’t find new representation that she would file a motion to be removed from my case. She kept every penny from my retainer. She didn’t own up to any of her faults and essentially blamed me for any communication issues. Divorce is hard enough. Find a lawyer willing to fight for you. Kimberly Pelesz will not.

5 /5 Stephanie Rothbart: I can not sing enough praise of Ms. Pelesz. She wasnt just professional she was caring. I knew the law and showed each time we had an appearance and correspondence with the defense. If you are looking for a super lawyer look no further. I highly recommend her to get the job done and the results you are looking for.
